@Keofox No it’s not enough the Academy was 10 times better than the curent implementation of this
if they improve academy it maybe better but previous academy is so bad
i had to order & send to rear hundred of times
also, EU hate loot box thingy
Disagrees.
The academy was crap.
Spend 34 hours getting a 5* trooper through grinding, bearing in mind that requires an awful number of 1* troopers (or if you are lucky and get random higher starred troops)
Or just use a silver order, or god forbid, an understaffed squad, and you play a handful of matches and get a 5 star level 1 from bronze orders
You can’t use bronze orders to get soldiers anymore
Just silver
And silver gain is insanely limited and time-gated unless you whale the repeatables at the end of the BP
But the battle pass pays for itself and only costs £10
You get back all the gold you spend on it at the end of the BP and you can re invest this on next elite battle pass.
£10 investment for all future battles and all the benefits you get from pass does not make me a whale.
However, I do dislike the fact they decreased the silver orders at the end of the battle pass for this season.
Yes I’m well aware. I’m looking at the situation from the pov of someone who is unable to pay but would still like to play ie: f2p players and new players in general
Same
I assumed pay. Then yes they are out of luck there. Didn’t they mention something about changing or adding missions to the daily quests. Not sure if that increased rewards. I have gotten silver from dailies.
I think they should add conversion from bronze to silver tbh even if its like 20 bronze for 1 silver that’s still viable as you won’t need many of them.
Also don’t be insinuating I’m a whale bro! I’m not fat
The current system is a lot better.
And yes, this sucks when trying to get new soldiers.
That being said, they do have to somehow make money and currently there’s no need to buy anything to progress in this game and be at an even playing field.
They’re developing the game at a rapid pace, 4 campaigns in less than a year? I see them trying to make money on people who want to progress faster. At the end of the day, devs have to be paid, just because the game is F2P doesn’t mean the devs work for free
I don’t believe that I did, if it came off like that it wasn’t intentional.
I put quite a bit in for premiums too, but I’m trying to look at it from the perspective of someone who hasn’t been playing the entire year and has pretty much everything they need to keep going already
Silvers via XP made in a match just like bronze
I think they should increase xp for F2P to what premium xp is right now.
They are going to need to re work premium time as well anyway because they just removed 2 points of value of it. We now have no need for the 100 extra reserve space or decreased training time.
I am 100% behind getting some of these newer players into the game for the long run and don’t have the mindset that - oh I grinded for this for ages they need to do the same. Yes I grinded out multiple campaigns to max but at a certain point it really becomes quite tedious. Especially T3 squad upgrades.
I can’t even imagine what it’s like without premium as I’ve had premium time since day 2 of playing this game. That grind must be terrible. I’ve had 2 close friends try the game have fun initially then stop when they realized how grindy it is.
I agree 100%
I fucking despise this mentality so much
For some, grind keeps the game alive.
People like having something shiny to work towards. Whether it be some tank or weapon.
My only concern is balance, the starter weapon and the last weapon to unlock (same with tanks) should be both at a fair playing field.
That means premium player could be getting over 100k in a good game, excessive bonus of having 2 times xp for prem and tying orders to xp is what led us here in first place and you still want compensation for reserve space and training time.
It used to be that you only got orders for daily tasks so premium got a big buff anyways.
There are 4 campaigns with likely the Pacific campaign being a 5th
Each with two sides and supposedly and ending campaign level of 40+ = They need to reduce the grind.
They need to reduce the grind and hold onto as many new players as possible to keep the player base on each campaign healthy.
The quicker people unlock new guns and vehicles and enjoy the actual gameplay instead of feeling at a disadvantage because of the grind the better for all.
Yes there is a bit of a disadvantage at the start with weapons but I can still hit top 1 or top 3 with whenever I start a fresh campaign - this is purely because I understand the game and have very good map knowledge.
I didn’t suggest either of those things I said the F2P needs a buff and premium needs a replacement for value lost.
Those who spend money supporting this game should be fairly compensated for lost value. What that replacement is up for debate.
Funny, when I unlock everything I move on to a different campaign.
So perhaps for players like me they should make the grind longer.
I think you are probably one of those rare players that enjoys the grind. I endure the grind because I enjoy the game and unlocking better stuff is always nice.
-
There is plenty to grind after hitting maxed campaign levels.
-
Maxing out squad upgrades.
-
Getting T3 soldiers into each squad all to rank 5
-
Getting all the equipment for each of those soldiers maxed out and fully upgraded.
-
You need to do this 8 times to be truly finished and god knows how long that would take.
I often re visit campaigns I have maxed out and really once I’m done with the core grind of the campaign and the squads I won’t be using I simply just enjoy playing the game and have a blast.
Yeah that. - I’ve put in the grind so now I get to shit on all the noobs mentality I 100% don’t agree with.
I genuinely don’t enjoy games where I stomp the other team so hard their top player has 1/4 of my kills.
I like when there is a challenge and a balanced game that gets down to last 100 tickets on the last point - Those are the best games.
This
I want the enemy to at least be at my skill level if not slightly above/below
I don’t want mega rats dropshotting and flying around with full meta loadouts
And I don’t want bot tier players either on their team or mine making the whole experience all the more strenuous
I think most Veteran players want something similar to this.
- A nice balanced game player skill wise on both teams
- To not have to be the only one building rallies.
- To not have to always have to go full beastmode every game to carry the team so sometimes you can relax for a sec without the point getting capped.
I however do enjoy running my full meta loadout squads 3x Assault squads 1x Engineer squad 1 MG squad 1 tank and 1 plane. This suits my playstyle and means I have the tools to counter any threat or situation I may encounter.
